Blaeu, Johannes (Guiljelmo Blaeuw). Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula. Amsterdam, 1660. Neatlines 15.5 x 21 in.; original color.
From the golden age of Dutch cartography, this wonderful depiction of the world as known then shows all major continents, including a coastline of Antarctica at the bottom. The lower corners show polar views - North and South. A large cartouche with depictions of native peoples holding it up labeled "America."
Across the top are the major "planets" - Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Across the bottom are the seven classical wonders of the world - Hanging Gardens of Babylon; Colossus of Rhodes; Pyramids; Mausoleum at Halicarnassus; Temple of Artemis/Diana; Statue of Zeus at Olympia; and Lighthouse at Alexandria. Along the left side are the elements - Fire (Ignis), Air (Aer), Water (Aqua), Earth (Terra). And along the right are the seasons - Spring (Ver), Summer (Aestas), Autumn, Winter (Hyems).
Several small compass roses, many ships and sea creatures, real and mythical, and many locations on the land masses are also included.
Originally with central fold, now barely visible. Very minor toning upper edge. Overall excellent.Condition
